Our life in the parsonage is never dull. So many wonderful things going on, and the daily routine is varied. We encounter sadness, tribulations, sorrow, joy, love, happiness...our lives run the gamut of emotions. Hope you join us on our journey.

Milk Day

Feb. 7th. Couldn't ask for a more beautiful day, warm weather (65*) sunny this morning, rainy this afternoon...matches any mood I'm in...and my mood is sewing.
I began this process because of a burnt finger, who knew my potholders had simply worn out...literally.
How can one cook without them? When I pull my cast iron skillets filled with hot cornbread right out of the oven...I need a heavy duty potholder, my dishtowel doesn't work either. So, shouting "hallelujuah" in the kitchen this morning, I knew I had a sewing project to begin. (Picture added)
Here is one completed potholder in honor of Valentines Day! I'm working on the sewing ones, enjoyed abit of crochet today.

We have a new member in our family, a kitten called Precious; & she really is. She was a drop-off...don't ask me why or how, I don't understand some people, but when a tiny kittens meows from under your kitchen window, what's a girl to do? Pray for them, and love the tiny animal, who can scratch like a tiger!!

Productive week thus far, helped milk, by hand, my niece's little jersey cow. She just had her first calf, was pouring milk, and needed a little help...can't wait to milk her for the home bucket!! Fresh butter!
I grew up shaking the mason jar, good memories, will pass this one on to our children.
My mother fell in love with the little heifer named Helen, and I snapped a picture of Mom helping milk her and check on post-birth mom.
*Note-Mom is wearing a headwarmer made from angora yarn I made for her...looking snazzy!

The little calf is so cute...just had to show a picture of him, yes, it's a little bull. But they just don't come any cuter!

Well, I must return to the potholder project...suppers cooking.
Y'all Come,
